The product of the gluon dressing function and the square of the ghost dressing function in the Landau gauge can be regarded to represent, apart from the inverse power corrections $1/Q^{2 n}$, a nonperturbative generalization $A(Q^2)$ of…
We consider the short-distance expansion of the product of two gluon field strength tensors connected by a straight-line-ordered Wilson line. The vacuum expectation value of this nonlocal operator is a common object in studies of the QCD…
In this paper we use a non-covariant gauge which makes some of the YM features manifest which otherwise do not appear explicitly in the Landau gauge used by Nielsen and Olesen.We show, in fact, that the unstable mode which makes a large…
Perturbation theory is shown to be working in the IR limit of pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory in Landau gauge by an unconventional setting of the perturbative expansion. A dynamical mass is predicted for the gluon and the lattice data are…
The vacuum expectation value of an operator carrying magnetic charge is studied numerically for temperatures above the deconfinement temperature in SU(2) and SU(3) gauge theory. By analyzing its finite size behaviour, this is found to be…
This is the second of two papers devoted to the perturbative computation of the ghost and gluon propagators in SU(3) Lattice Gauge Theory. Such a computation should enable a comparison with results from lattice simulations in order to…
There is a good deal of current interest in the condensate g^2A_\mu^aA_a^\mu> which has recently be shown to be the Landau gauge version of a more general gauge-invariant expression. In the present work we consider quark propagation in the…
We define the non-perturbative part of a quantity as the difference between its numerical value and the perturbative series truncated by dropping the order of minimal contribution and the higher orders. For the anharmonic oscillator, the…
We show how the gauge invariant formulation of QCD in terms of loops is free from a hidden $\theta$ parameter and offers an alternative way to solve the $U(1)_A$ puzzle.
We study a class of noncommutative gauge theory models on 2-dimensional Moyal space from the viewpoint of matrix models and explore some related properties. Expanding the action around symmetric vacua generates non local matrix models with…
We demonstrate the feasibility of computing alpha_s from the lattice three-gluon vertex in the Landau gauge. Data from 16^4 and 24^4 quenched lattices at beta=6.0 are presented. Our main result is that 2-loop asymptotic scaling is observed…
A completely non-perturbative estimate is given for gA using both quenched and unquenched O(a) improved Wilson fermions. Particular attention is paid to the determination of the axial renormalisation constant, ZA, using the Ward identity…
It is shown that the auxiliary field in the low-energy effective theory of the supersymmetric QCD (SU(N_c) gauge symmetry with flavors N_f < N_c) can be understood as a physical degree of freedom, once the supersymmetry is explicitly…
Recent progress in our studies of propagators and three-point functions in Landau gauge for QCD and QCD-like theories is presented. Special emphasis is put on the properties of the three-gluon vertex and the quark-gluon vertex. The effect…
We calculate the vacuum expectation value of the dimension-5 "mixed" quark-gluon operator, $O_\sigma = \bar\psi (\lambda^a /2) \sigma_{\mu\nu} \psi F_{\mu\nu}^a$, in the instanton vacuum. Within the $1/N_c$--expansion the QCD operator is…
Motivated by recent discussions of the string-theory landscape, we propose field-theoretic realizations of models with large numbers of vacua. These models contain multiple U(1) gauge groups, and can be interpreted as deconstructed versions…
The Dirac operator d+delta on the Hodge complex of a Riemannian manifold is regarded as an annihilation operator A. On a weighted space L_mu^2 Omega, [A,A*] acts as multiplication by a positive constant on excited states if and only if the…
Action and topological charge densities of the Euclidean-space QCD vacuum are visualized in three-dimensional slices of a 24^3 x 36 space-time lattice and an order-a^2 improved 16^3 x 32 lattice. Features include instanton anti-instanton…
